My Aussie boyfriend does not possess any tertiary education nor does he have any job offers. We would like to cohabit in Kuala Lumpur but we have no idea about getting him a work permit of some sort. His field of work is locally uncommon. Suggestions, anyone?

You need a job offer to start the process going. The immigration department won't give him a working visa otherwise. I do know some people come in and out of Malaysia on a tourist visa and work, but that's illegal.
I'm on a spouse visa. My wife is Malaysia, I'm Aussie. Still need an job to get in but easier. Used to work for people, but started own company.
That could be an option for you (start own business), but there are conditions to be filled as well.
Immigration department has a few different types of visa's for foreigners. Defined by Skills and conditions. Suggest you go to putrajaya and check it out.
They are quite friendly and very effiecient (compared to when I first came over in 1997).
Going down there next week to renew my visa.
Cheers

Check with the Australian Embassy in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Kuala Lumpur.

He can only get a work permit in Malaysia unless he is employed and the employer applies for a work permit for him.

he can come to malaysia on a tourist visa and while in malaysia, he can find and secure a job. after that he can obtain a work permit.
